That would be me too. I gain my weight all over...but my waist always stays smaller than breast' date=' hips, thighs and arms... even now at 330+ lbs I don't have rolls in my back or stomach area. If you're the same, that would mean you have an hourglass shape like me. If you gain weight at the top disportionately then you're an apple shape, if you gain it more at the bottom than anywhere else then you're a pear,[/quote'] thanks for this I think Imma hour glass

I'm 5'7" currently 214 lbs and my goal weight is 150. I expressed concern because I though goal would be set closer to 160, but my doctor said that is completely realistic for a woman of my height to reach 150. (He actually set goal at 147 but I need to deal in round numbers).

I haven't been 150 since I was a teenager! My lowest dieting weight was 160....and that was damn hard to achieve. I cannot even comprehend what looking in the mirror at myself at 150 will be like!

The clothing sizes always throw me off....I'm 5'8" (used to be 5'9') and I weighed 158 this morning...size large tops and size 10 jeans. My surgeon's goal weight was 155 and I am going to achieve that **hopefully** by the end of the month. My personal goal is and has always been 145. I'd like to be a size 8 pants like I was in college. Love being in the TALL group! ;-)

I'm 5' 10" and I am aiming for 150.

It's 2 weeks until my surgery and right now I weigh 274. I was 163 in high school and I would be happy there too. My doctor says most people even out to their high school weight.

I do want to be a bean pole! I've been too long on the other end of the spectrum! I live in Hawaii and I want to wear a bikini, gosh darn it !!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
